I've been having a flash flood of old movie longing. It started when I saw a clip from Easy Living, with Ray Milland and Jean Arthur. We used to watch that movie a lot when we lived at Granny's house. It's extremely lavish and very hilarious. I recommend it.
Anyway, so I found it on Youtube and watched it.
Then I started craving more old movies.
So I found Three Smart Girls with Deanna Durbin and Ray Milland. I love that one. Kay, the middle daughter, and Ray Milland's little romance is my favorite.
Then I found Margie on Youtube! It has never been officially released on VHS or DVD, but we saw it on TCM a long time ago and recorded it. But then we lost the recording, so we haven't been able to watch it for a long, long time, and it was one of our very favorites! Sooo cute and sweet. Jeanne Crain is one of my favorites, and her french professor is dreamy. :)
But surprise, surprise! I found someone selling a DVD copy of it on Ebay for only $13! If anyone wants to get me a present that I will love and adore to my dying day, this is your best bet.
So, for next weekend (if I have time), my list of old movies to watch includes---
The Bachelor and the Bobby Soxer - Myrna Loy, Cary Grant, and Shirley Temple
Belles on Their Toes - Myrna Loy and Jeanne Crain
People Will Talk - Cary Grant and Jeanne Crain
Good News - Peter Lawford and June Allyson
Mr. Deeds Goes to Town - Gary Cooper and Jean Arthur
Do you have any good suggestions?

Yay! I suggest we have an old movie marathon one of these days. You, me, Katie, junk food, and the classics. :)
Anchors Aweigh! You know, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Kathryn Grayson? It's one of our very favorites in the 'so-cheesy-and-overdone-you-could-just-die' category. The trailer describes it as 'a song and dance EXPLOSION!' which is really about right.
. . .ah. now I want to watch it.
Oh and-- if you ever get a chance to see The Clock (Judy Garland) please, please do. It's so sweet and adorable, and a handsome, young soldier on leave from the war is involved. Need I say more.
